SUMMARY:Addressing the Sustainable Development Goal of quality education through Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) between Mexico and the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Higher education institutions are charged with preparing students to be world citizens who possess holistic perspectives on diverse international cultures. The demand for technology-enhanced Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) courses with international partners has increased due to the travel restrictions as a result of the global pandemic since early 2020. \nThis presentation will explore two faculty members’ journey of collaboration between Mexico and the United States\, and share the process of developing and delivering COIL courses using innovative pedagogy\, high impact practice\, and technology to facilitate the students’ learning experience and address the Sustainable Development Goal # 4 of quality education. Student voices will be highlighted in content\, aligning to the student learning outcomes and professional organization’s standards. The presenter will discuss the lessons learned and strategies used to overcome the barriers related to different languages\, time zones\, cultures\, and disciplines. The presentation will also talk about the pandemic’s impact on student’s motivation during the development of the COIL course\, how teachers and students could work together to cope with low motivation due to the pandemic\, and how students can be resilient and find education a tool to find the drive that has been blocked by the ongoing conditions around the world. \nPresenters: \nDr. Jie Zhang\, Professor\, State University of New York Brockport\nMs. Silvia García Himmelstine\, Professor\, Universidad del Caribe \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting https://brockport-edu.zoom.us/j/87287584904?pwd=RmtIN0dEc09WMC9SY1Zqb05wT09rZz09 \nMeeting ID: 872 8758 4904 Passcode: 458907

SUMMARY:Introducing the UGC SDG Dashboard: Sharing Best SDG Impact Practices Across the University Global Coalition
DESCRIPTION:As an initiative to contribute to advancing the SDGs in higher education\, Saint Joseph’s University offers the SDG Dashboard: A collaborative data reporting and analytics platform for global higher education institutions to share best practice impacts on the SDGs. The SDG Dashboard allows higher education institutions to dynamically and interactively share their best SDG impact practices in five core Impact Areas: Teaching\, Research\, Partnerships\, Dialogue\, and Organizational Practices.

SUMMARY:17 Books: Higher Education and the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Emerald Publishing has commissioned Wendy Purcell as Series Editor for 17 books\, one per SDG. Wendy in turn has invited a global cadre of 17 editors\, one per book\, to address one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, specifically through the lens of higher education (HE). The book series will examine the role of the global HE sector in delivering against that goal directly through teaching/learning\, research/innovation and community engagement/service. It will also capture how HE works with public\, private and plural actors to advance fulfillment of the goals. Identifying successes to date\, challenges ahead and offering insights through relevant case studies\, the series will reveal the opportunities afforded by embracing the SDGs at a strategic level within HE. \nThe event will showcase the upcoming book series\, highlight the critical role of the student voice and hear from some of the editors about how they are planning to approach their goal and the role of HE in delivering the SDGs. \nShort presentations with facilitated discussions. \nPresenters: \nWendy M.
